Dare-Mobi deviates from marketing theory
Dare-Mobi deviates from marketing theory
—The reason it still works, and its relationship to the 'Lost 30 Years'
'Dare-Mobi deviates from marketing theory.' This observation is not a criticism, but a
fact, and in fact, its greatest characteristic.
This is because Dare-Mobi, Dare-Spo, and Dare-Support are stepping into a domain where
the very 'prerequisites' for marketing to function do not exist.
Actually, the reason is very simple, and I can state it clearly.
If there were already someone in this world who could make Dare-Mobi work using 'standard marketing theory,'
the 'Lost 30 Years' would not have happened in Japan.
This is neither a provocation nor an extreme argument.
It is a structural matter.
Marketing theory can only handle 'established markets'
What is marketing theory?
Simply put,
demand already exists
the customer profile can be articulated
the price range can be estimated
there are competitors
there are success stories
It is a discipline that only functions when these five points are present.
Conversely,
demand is not visualized
the stakeholders themselves cannot articulate what they 'want'
the entity paying the money is not necessarily the person themselves
there is no object of comparison
There is no success model
Under these conditions, marketing theory is useless.
Dare-Mobi stands in exactly this place.
For Dare-Mobi, it is not even decided who the "customer" is.
Who are the users of Dare-Mobi?
The elderly
People with disabilities
Tourists
Inbound travelers
People who have returned their driver's licenses
Families
Local governments
Medical and nursing care providers
Local residents
The answer is "everyone," but in terms of marketing theory, "everyone" is
a sign of failure.
This is because the correct answer in marketing is to "narrow down your target."
However, Dare-Mobi is different.
Dare-Mobi is
designed on the premise of "not choosing any one person".
At this point, it completely deviates from existing theory.
Why can't it be marketed from the start?
Let's take it a step further.
The reason DareMobi, DareSpo, and DareSuppo cannot map out a perfect marketing strategy from the start is that
social issues are 'incomprehensible to those who have not experienced them'.
social issues are 'incomprehensible to those who have not experienced them'.
The anxiety of being unable to go out
The moment when moving becomes scary
The fear of being a burden to others
The fatigue of being self-conscious or reading the room
The psychology of being unable to say 'help me'
These things
do not show up in surveys, data, or personas.
In other words,
it is a problem that precedes market research.
If it could be solved by theory, it would have been solved already.
Here, we come to the topic of the lost 30 years.
For the past 30 years, Japan has
aging population
regional decline
rising medical costs
the issue of returning driver's licenses
uneven distribution of tourism
the divide between welfare and the economy
It hasknown about these all along.
There is only one reason why it still couldn't be solved.
It is because only things that can be explained by theory
were treated as "business."
If,
the mobility-impaired
those with difficulty going out
the disconnection from social participation
if there had been someone who could
make these viable through marketing theory,
large corporations would have entered the market,
it would have been rolled out nationwide,
it would have become a national policy,
and the lost 30 years would not have existed.
But the reality is different.
Dare-Mobi is premised on being "small."
Dare-Mobi will not grow large from the start.
Profit margins are not high,
it will not see explosive growth,
efficiency is poor,
it is time-consuming,
and it requires people.
These, too, are "failure conditions" from a marketing perspective.
However, there is an important reversal here.
Niches are the strongest in social issues.
DareMobi is,
something no one wants to do
hard to generate numbers for
difficult to explain
takes time to build empathy
That is precisely why no competitors emerge.
And once it "takes root in a community," it is not easily replaced.
This is
franchise
platform
large-scale investment
the exact opposite philosophy of.
Big business is not about "numbers" but "irreversibility."
What DareMobi is aiming for is not
sales scale
number of users
national market share
.
What we are aiming for is
a state where, "if this were gone,
this region could never return to how it was."
This irreversibility is
the
true big thing in social issue business.
Deviating from marketing theory is not a defeat
DareMobi
deviates from marketing theory.
But that is
not because it is immature,
not because it lacks strategy,
and not because of a lack of study.
It is simply that we chose from the start a place where theory does not reach.
Conclusion: DareMobi is an "ideology-first business"
DareMobi, DareSpo, and DareSupport
before creating demand,
before defining the market,
before solidifying a revenue model,
place "how society ought to be" first.
It is clumsy, roundabout, and inefficient.
But,
this is the only way to
end the continuation of the lost 30 years.
DareMobi does not
start with marketing.
That is precisely why
it remains in society.
